The St. Peter's Bridge dates from 1892. In 2019-2020, it underwent a thorough restoration, requiring its dismantling to be transported to the workshop, where it was carefully cleaned and sandblasted. In addition, some sections were replaced and riveted by hand. No fewer than 1,000 rivets are incorporated into the entire structure. Finally, the bridge was also given a protective coat of paint in striking Brunswick green, its original color. Source: vlaamsewaterweg.be

This forest was created in the late 1980s on a former clay dump. Over the past 40 years, the approximately 30-hectare area has grown into a natural gem. Together with the Vaarttaluds (a little further towards Bossuit) and the Oude Spoorweg (a little further towards Kortrijk), it forms a beautiful walking area.

As is the case with many chapels, pieces of cloth are tied to the bars of the door (see, for example, the Passjekapel on the Catsberg in Godewaerdsvelde in French Flanders). This refers to a devotion that is actually based on a Germanic tradition: believers come to the chapel hoping for (or in gratitude for) protection and healing from illnesses that cause fever. They leave behind a piece of cloth (bandage, sock, handkerchief, etc.), worn by the sick person.

The Tonte Chapel is a magnificent chapel, largely due to its location: at the highest point in Kooigem, with a number of nearly upright poplars as neighbors. It can therefore be seen from afar. The combination of white paint on the walls and blue woodwork gives the chapel an extra special character. The history of the chapel, which has been a protected monument since 2004, dates back to the first half of the 18th century. The first, smaller chapel was probably built in 1729 but destroyed in 1914, not by war, but by fire following a lightning strike. The current chapel dates from after the First World War. The small chapel was enlarged in 1929 by the residents of the nearby farm. The Tonte Chapel is a popular place of worship, especially in May. Source: Heritage Inventory

radiates nostalgia

After a long flat stretch along the Leie, a climb is more than welcome. And knowing that cyclocross riders ride over it every year makes it even more of a place worth mentioning.

Pylon bridge in S-shape suspended from 2 diagonally placed pylons; bicycle and pedestrian bridge installed in 2009 at the Budapark (stopover place for Kortrijk residents) that connects the IJzerkaai and the Diksmuidekaai.

Sint-Pietersbrug on the old arm of the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal is one of the most beautiful spots in Zwevegem. The bridge dates from 1892 and is a protected monument. It is a rare example of an iron lifting bridge with an open truss construction that was once operated manually.
